Hazel Technologies Inc. announced an expanded partnership arrangement with QFresh Lab. In its new and expanded role, the latter will continue to support the packaging film side of Hazel's business, including its flagship Breatheway product, but will provide additional support for postharvest physiology expertise, sustainable packaging resources, as well as laboratory testing services.
"QFresh Lab has been an invaluable partner and has done wonders to advance our innovation and related applications for our Breatheway solution," said Parker Booth, CEO for Hazel Technologies. "With this expanded partnership, we seek to penetrate new market segments such as floral, seafood, meats, and coffee. The Breatheway membrane used in conjunction with specialty packaging companies' offerings is a key growth opportunity we can capitalize on."

"With the unique gas transmission features of the Breatheway membrane combined with its temperature modulation properties, we are very excited to add our expertise and see how far we can take this unique postharvest packaging technology," said Jeffrey Brandenburg, founder, QFresh Lab.
Qfresh Lab provides a range of services including postharvest physiology resources, respiration rate (RR) analysis, package design, shelf-life testing, modified atmosphere packaging (MAP), and general consulting.
Prior to the new agreement, the two companies have worked together for about two years, with QFresh primarily supporting Hazel's technology requirements and sourcing unique packaging films to augment the Breatheway technology.
